Proof that you don’t have to be a perfect victim or a hero to everyone in your life to write a worthy memoir. The author can’t look at her life through anyone else’s lens. Her account is fascinating, simply written, and honest in her own way.
A real raw insight into Lily’s life and a behind the curtain look at the corrupt music industry. Funny how different the media portrays someone to events that are actually happening in their lives.

This was everything I want from a memoir: fast-paced, engaging, a full-on peak behind the curtain, filled with gossip from the celebrity world, and most of all - honesty. So raw and honest in fact, that it was difficult to read at times and made me say out loud "Damn, I could never tell that about myself to random people".
But she did. She did, and it gave us a very real look into stardom, which I absolutely loved. Is Lily perfect? Oh my god, no. She has a million issues and she behaved terribly, hurting a lot of people. But that's what I want from a memoir, not a woe-is-me literary pretentiousness, but a very simply written honest account of someone's life.
This book is the opposite of inspiring, and it was so real for that. Sometimes you really want to read a real account of someone trashing their own life.
It didn't hold my attention much the last 10% of the book and I found hilarious her lack of acknowledgment of her privilege in the beginning, but she did grow on me.
PS: Huge fan as a teenager and now this made me go relisten her earlier albums. Still bangers, all of them.

Read in a morning. Didn’t have loads to say, best bits were about her breakdowns and sexism and sexual abuse in the music industry
